Noob question - what is the best way for me to learn concepts?

I am a home owner but I readily admit that I know very little about the actual process. Obviously, my realtor guided us through the process of buying our Home and I just went through the motions. I do have an investment in my friend's RE firm as a limited partner but that is just a passive investment. I have plans to start an LLC in future for any investments and I started reading up (mostly investopedia and other online resources). I know I will have to engage a CPA and RE agent to get all these setup, but I will be much more comfortable if I know a bit more about what I am actually doing.

Obviously, there is an overload of information when you search online and one of those led me to consider finishing up the real estate agent course. I have no intention of becoming an RE agent but do you guys think finishing the course and getting the license will actually help me in the long run? Or are there any better alternatives for this (classroom courses, online classes)? Where can I start?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
